Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

Product Description

' They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach which just goes to show they're as confused about anatomy as they gen'rally are about everything else unless they're talking about instructions on how to stab him in which case a better way is up & under the ribcage. Anyway we do not live in a perfect world & it is foresighted & useful for a young woman to become proficient in those arts which will keep a weak-willed man from straying. Learning to cook is also useful.' Nanny Ogg one of Discworld's most famous witches is passing on some of her huge collection of tasty & above all interesting recipes since everyone else is doing it. But in addition to the delights of the Strawberry Wobbler & Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on life death etiquette (' If you go to other people's funerals they'll be sure to come to yours') courtship children & weddings all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well not much. Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive. Nanny Ogg Gratefully Ackowledges the Assistance in this Literary Argosy of: Mr Terry Pratchett Mr Stephen Briggs Mlle Tina Hannan & Master Paul Kidby.
